This is going to be a real problem for all platforms and marketplaces. Without some form of curation, everything will drown in the wave of slop. This isn’t a new problem, but AI is making it easier than ever to churn out low effort crap… until those token costs start rising enough to make this uneconomical. 🤪
Got a Mac for work thought the app store would blow gnome software out the water with all that money...it's full of useless trash and I never touch it
Is this what they call a walled garden
The walled garden:
Walled garden with literal monkeys maintaining it
Its one of those walled gardens with a broken car and an upside down shopping cart in it.
The garden might be walled, but apparently nobody's bothered to check for weeds.
Walled slop shop
This is why it's ever more critical that people maintin their due diligence when it comes to downloading and installing apps - apple, android, windows, linux or whatever. Shit's getting hairy out there.
You know how those AI slop apps show up in Apple's bottom line? Just the same 🤑
If broken slop apps crowd out the good, actually usable apps so the App Store just becomes a cesspool of useless garbage, they make no money as people wil abandon trying to find a tool for their problem.
I hate to break it to you but the AppStore has been a cesspool of useless shovelware for over a decade now. There isn’t a whole lot of good at this point to crowd out
It does threaten their brand image though

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
